Archive - Description and Background of the Bicycle Registration project

Posted by Sarthak Prasad on August 3, 2020

Description:

Bicycle registration is primarily a method to assist with returning stolen or lost bikes when they are recovered by Public Safety or Facilities & Services.  Bicycle registration is offered for free to faculty, staff, and students at the University of Illinois, and can conveniently be completed online at http://go.illinois.edu/mybike.

In September 2013, the University will be adopting new stickers for bicycle registration, and all registered bike owners will be contacted with instructions on how to receive their new sticker.

  • You can be contacted if your bicycle is impounded or mistaken for abandoned
  • It helps the University to better plan for bicycles and bicycle infrastructure
  • It allows the University to communicate with bicyclists for important bicycle-related announcements
